This has nothing to do with June events but, when I put in my Receipt code and Stuff Fur Stuff number it said I did no receive any BB or Boutiqe Credits =/ I sent BAB an email. But I wondered if that happend to anyone else, it was a brand new receipt.

No, it’s not just you. We have a couple of accounts and sometimes the receipt will work in one and not the other, so we will always retry it. If my daughter logs out and then back in, it usually works. And I’m the one who makes the typing errors. 🙂 Remember, you can use each receipt on up to 5 different accounts.

Help me! Should I be angry?
Yesterday my kids acted up in worship services. They are usually so good, but they just would not calm down. So, I told them that they would lose their computer priveleges for the week. Today I get home from work and my husband (granted he didn’t know about the punishment…he had to work yesterday) had allowed them to play. Here is what I’m so angry about… my oldest went online and created two new characters so that she could buy more stuff from the bear store and send it to herself. She went through my files to find receipts then lied about all of it when I saw the confirmation email. I’m just so upset! But I feel like I’m not sure if I should be… it’s just virtual stuff. But she went through my files and lied! This is crazy!

faithballetbear5 if they lied to you you need to ground them cause lieing is really bad so bad so that’s my opinion and if i were you i would groung her for a week and a half a wek for lieing and a half for the acting up

Faith I think you should ground them for like 1-2 weeks but first give them a lecture about how bad lying is if they say their sorry and walk away, bring them back and tell them about their punishment( the grounding). but for the eldest, if they do chores add 2 more or if she doesn’t have any, add some. Also send an email about the confirmation. and DO NOT use the soap and make them eat it! hope this helps

Oof, my Mom would have grounded me for EONS lol. Still being 17 an all I can’t really tell you how you should punish your child, but I can tell you that if it were me, my parents would have grounded me for like 5 weeks and added even more chores to my already long list =/ Well best of wishes with whatever you choose, but I agree with mikael – Please don’t use the soap =P

I know this is a very dumb question, but how do you sign up in the shea and mercer’s blog? I try finding the sign up button, but I don’t know how or where? Can someone please help me(even though this is a very dumb question).

ed note: On Shea’s blog you go to the bottom of her post and click ‘Feedback’ then you leave your username, a link/url/email and when it asks for the confirmation number the number is the same one that you see there, just type it in.

Does anyone know if the hello kitty is gonna be online? I really want her but dont live near a babw. It doesnt say anything on the website so i just thought i would ask here since some of you go to babw sometimes.

Carlbear I think she should be able to be purchased online but I am not certain. You will know on May 30. I do not think we’ll be able to bring her to life online in Buildabearville but we’ll learn more when she comes out.

That Hello Kitty was first sold here in Hawai’i as “Sun Kissed Hello Kitty.” She came with the same flowered ear thing you see there and also a matching lei! I am very surprised to see her go nationwide, because she’s supposed to have been a Hawai’i exclusive, sold at the Ala Moana BAB store only.

Oh yes, I forgot to add – as “Sun Kissed Hello Kitty,” she’s been sold here for … mm, a year and a half? She’s one of the Ala Moana BAB store’s bestsellers, and they even advertised her on the radio here when she first came out! It will be interesting to see if the nationwide one has the lei or not.

Hey i’m abbiebearystylin31 on babv.I was wondring if i could take the piture of the hello kittey picture please and how did you get it?who gave it to you?and why?did you cry for it?i wonderhow you got it can you tell us?

princess, the white one that came out in like the summer? I have that one too!!! I took off the bow though (hehehe looks like dear daniel) I got the free wallet too! I love it! I want that one to have like a welcome pass or something so I can bring it to life! I have all the hello kitty clothes in babw!

Good Morning Freya, I am glad to know that it is quite imperative to be nice while posting and for it to be a safe environment here…(I don’t really see that too often on the internet). About the Hello Kitty question as posted in “57″, I actually contacted my local BABW and asked.. they said that Tropical Hello Kitty could not be registered as a furry friend on BABV because it is a licensed product (just a little FYI for the people who are fairly new to BABW and BABV like myself and didn’t know). Anyways, thanks for letting me be part of this blog.. Have a great day!!!

LOL ( ps i hope any cyberguides hear this)
Today i was talking to my friend and this girl name HannahHoney73 was ask me for trade but i told her no thanks and plus i blocked trade with her! then she keep putting I WILL REPORT YOU IF YOU DONT TRADE WITH ME! and i reported her first i put what she told me and then a minute later she said haha i reported you four times so cyber guides and every body i am inoccent and i hope she get in trouble but mostly i am upset that she reported me for no reason!

I guess they will have to sell things to hang on the wall. No changes in any of the stores right now. I’m curious if the animals will have a command to sit or if they will just climb into a chair on their own. Should be fun.

Freya,I was JW if you have a picture of the towel that you get for free when you spend 15 or more at BABW i dont reallt want to spend that much if i do not like the towel, cause then it is just not worth it, if so send a picture if you can.Thanks!

idk mybe, alll i know is i am tired of waiting, really tired of waiting its been almost 3 hours, thats 3 hours babv could be making kids hapy and instead they make em wait 3 hours and they become angry

Try taking them outside, to play Frisbee or somthing. By then i’m sure BABV will be open, and at the same time you’ll have spent time with your kids. Just a thought, what do I know lol. I’m still a teen. But I know thats what my mom would do.

Ok, that is TOO cool. The bear is functioning well but every thing in the rooms is not. Some of my move furniture commands are not working right, but I’m sure they will fix it. All my sofas, chairs and beds were moved. And I noticed some of my furniture is different colors. Lots of new items in the shops too. Have fun everyone!! Don’t forget to get your UK shirt and sweatband.

Hey everyone, just wanted to post that Shea has updated her blog! Here’s what it says (they are responses to everyone who left feedback):
Hi everyone,
I really enjoy hearing from so many of you on the blog, you all are terrific!
To Rose: Hi, hope all is well with you, we miss hearing from you!
To Jennifer: it was nice to meet you in BABV and I have to tell you, I really like how you did your screen name (JenniferFriendsFurever9!) I’m not yet sure when my next visit will be but I will post when I can plan a visit. Mercer and I are doing well; we are enjoying the weather and looking forward to the school year ending so we can have some free time to relax.
To Freya: I am so glad you like the picture of Mercer and me and how sweet of you to name your lab after Mercer, he is putting his paws together for u! I also love the name Biscuit for your Jack Russell and I bet he can learn anything you want him to learn if you have the patience to practice often and I am sure you do!
To Abigail: I enjoyed meeting you too and I do look forward to meeting up again for more chats in BABV, you are a good blog friend and I do enjoy chatting with you.
To Scarlett: We (Mercer and me) are looking forward to meeting you and chatting. How sweet you are to let me know that you have heard nice things about us, which make both Mercer and me feel so good, thank you!
To Layla: I know we will meet one day soon we just have to keep trying, friend.

To everyone: God bless each of you with love, hugs and his light!

Shea

It sounds like Shea may drop by sometime soon; I’ll be on the lookout for any more news!

I recieved an interesting bit of information today. It’s attatched to the June monthly calendar. If you have ever bought a SUNKISSED Hello Kitty, you can bring her in to BAB here in Hawaii on May 30- June 1 to “get your free gift.” I think this means they’ll give you the Charmy Kitty that is part of the weekend promotion for Tropical Hello Kitty, because there’s a pic of the Charmy Kitty on the flyer.

Also, the Ala Moana store is going to keep on selling the Sunkissed HK; it is not changing over to the Tropical one. The only difference is that the Sunkissed version still comes with the lei she always has come with, and costs $3 more.

Reply to post twenty…if you send BAB an help e-mail, they don’t send you an e-mail back. (At least when i send an e-mail, they don’t ever reply to me….)Instead of ever sending me an e-mail, BAB just fixes it for me! For example, last night I sent a help e-mail to them, and they didn’t respond…but today, when I looked at my avatar, I was finally all dressed up in my karate uniform and graduation hat….also, if anyone can’t see some clothes, I do suggest sending BAB a help e-mail.

sarahbearish, the coupon thing is getting very interesting. I would have thought that they would have printed one kind for each month, or something like that. I wonder what the logic is to what they send. Depends on spending habits?? I would guess we’re all in the Stuff Fur Stuff club by now. Would be interesting to see what others get.

corinneultracool, there are a few things I can think of
Are you in the Stuff fur Stuff club?
Signed up on their mailing list (maybe they revised it and you needed to sign up again?)
Have you put your name and address in the system recently for a birth certificate?

corinneultracool, probably they go over their mailing lists from time to time and if someone is not buying, they probably remove the name from the mailing list. I think that’s how a lot of companies work. If there is activity on your account, they will keep sending mailings. If someone don’t buy for awhile or doesn’t signup again on the mailing list, they probably remove the name. Just my guess.

"Birds fly, fish swim, man thinks and learns. Therefore, we do not need to motivate children into learning by wheedling, bribing or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do, and all we need to do, is bring as much of the world as we can into the school and classroom (in our case, into their lives); give children as much help and guidance as they ask for; listen respectfully when they feel like talking; and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest."
